🌍 New Educational Resources Now Available! ✨
We’re excited to share two new educational explainers exploring how the escalation of authoritarian practices around the world is affecting human rights — and what we can all do about it.
These explainers can be used for your own learning or in group discussions and are designed for anyone wanting to understand how fear, division, and powerful narratives are used to silence, control, and erode human rights.
This isn’t about political systems — it’s about recognising the tactics and learning how to challenge them.
💡 What’s inside the two-part resource?
• Part 1: Unpacking Authoritarian Narratives of Fear, Repression, and Control https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/pol32/0336/2025/en/
• Part 2: Resisting Authoritarian Practices in Defence of Human Rights https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/pol32/0426/2025/en/
🌐 Available in English, Arabic, French, and Spanish
We hope these resources inspire learning, reflection, and collective action to protect and promote human rights everywhere.
Thank you for being part of this vital work.
